September 27, 2000

Vashon, Washington ¿ Q: What do you get when a water truck and a vinegar truck crash into each other? A: You get a new, fresh Morrow management. Greg Hughes has been promoted to sales and brand manager at Morrow Snowboards making him responsible for overseeing the marketing and international sales. “Greg is, and will continue to be, the voice at Morrow in international markets including Japan. This is a logical fit for the Morrow brand to further our multi-branded approach to the snowboard business,” says Brent Turner, K2’s VP of snowboards.

Hughes has been the sales manager at Morrow for more than two years overseeing the transition when K2 bought Morrow. And before that he was a Morrow Sales Rep in the Mid Atlantic states and New England for eight years. “Greg and I work great together, and now he is being recognized for his role in product direction and marketing feedback,” says Rebecca Herath, Morrow’s Marketing and Team manager.

Morrow has also added a new rep for the Northwest territory. Andy Keating, formerly of Sims Snowboards, will be covering OR, WA, MT, ID, and AK. “Andy has some great relationships with stores in the Northwest and we’re glad to have him as part of our crew,” says Hughes. Keating also runs Influence Clothing, a skate brand based in Kirkland, WA.

Andy can be reached at 206.841.8084 and influenceclothing@earthlink.net.
